Aviva Stadium

Ballsbridge, Dublin

The original multi discipline ground was in existence at the Lansdowne Road site since 1872. In its old incarnation, prior to closure in December 2006, it was the oldest rugby union ground worldwide & oldest sports stadium in Europe.

The stadium is the home to the Irish national rugby and Republic of Ireland national football team. It is located 31 minutes away from the Green Isle Hotel via the M50. Aviva Stadium is now Ireland’s only UEFA Category 4/Elite Stadium and has won a number of awards including RIAI & RIBA. Since opening in May 2010 over 1.8 million ticketed visitors have passed through the turnstiles for rugby, soccer & concerts.
